With the help of blepharoplasty, it is possible to improve the facial looks and in particular this form of surgery helps in removing excessive fat from beneath the eyelids.
Lower blepharoplasty cosmetic surgery is also known as posterior blepharoplasty whose primary goal is to get rid of bags from beneath the eyes and which can also help in making you look more attractive.
Posterior blepharoplasty is performed after anesthetizing the patient whose face will also have to be prepared with some Betadine paint. Once the skin dries up, the lower eyelids will be pulled away from the eyeballs which in turn will already have been covered by a plastic plate that protects the eyelids.
Next, an incision is made beneath the patients eyelashes. Then the excessive fat is removed. Once this form of blepharoplasty cosmetic surgery has been performed the patient must then use ice compresses for the first twenty four to forty eight hours which helps in controlling the swelling. In addition, this area should not be strained for a minimum of one to two hours.
In addition, it is important to use proper methods to clean your eyes and in addition it is also necessary to apply eye drops to lubricate the eyes. The head may have to be elevated and of course applying makeup is out of the question.

After a week, the stitches will be removed though swelling and bruising will remain even after the stitches have been removed. You will also need to wear sunglasses as well as sun block which must be used for a few weeks. And, ten days after the surgery was performed, it is OK to resume your normal routine activities but it will still not be alright to lift weights or bend or exercise until a further ten to eleven days have passed.
